Labour Policy
Sir, —In the issue of May 4, I came across the tirade in regard to the Government’s interference with the Federation of Labour. It is a pity that Mr Skinner cannot see himself. He not only interferes in the Government but in anything else with which he does not agree. I thought his job was to dictate to the unions what they should do. He and Mr Kirk are hand in glove, and it is a case of “1 will slap your back and you slap mine.” I think that Mr Holyoake has been very tolerant in not rebuking Messrs Skinner and Kirk for their rudeness towards him and when he does it is because he is tired of these gentlemen interferring in matters of which they know nothing. Let Mr Skinner stick to his own job and leave Mr Holyoake to run the country in the efficient manner that he has always done. —Yours, etc., May 9, 1966. STICKY BEAK.
